				<h1>log4javascript - what's new in version 1.4</h1>
				<ul>
					<li>
						log4javascript now comes in three different editions: Standard, Production
						and Lite. <a href="distribution.html">Full details here</a>.
					</li>
					<li>
						Loggers are now hierarchical and work exactly the same as log4j loggers.
						This means that a logger with no level set on it inherits its level from its parent,
						and inherits all of its parents appenders.
					</li>
					<li>
						The logging console used by <code><a href="manual.html#popupappender">PopUpAppender</a></code> and
						<code><a href="manual.html#inpageappender">InPageAppender</a></code>now has a command line, featuring
						a command history navigated with the up and down arrow keys and a number of built-in command line
						functions.
					</li>
					<li>
						It is now possible to specify multiple messages in a single log call.
					</li>
					<li>
						Log messages may be grouped in the logging console.
					</li>
					<li>
						Built-in timers.
					</li>
					<li>
						Improved <code><a href="manual.html#ajaxappender">AjaxAppender</a></code>, with the ability
						to send all pending log calls to the server when navigating away from a page. Timestamps now
						include milliseconds. All log messages or batches of log messages are now posted as
						name-value pairs.
					</li>
					<li>
						Support for IE8 beta 2.
					</li>
					<li>
						Many minor enhancements and bug fixes. See the <a href="../changelog.txt">change log</a> for full
						details.
					</li>
				</ul>
				<p>
					Please note that there are a few minor <a href="backwardsincompatibilities.html">incompatibilities
					with earlier versions of log4javascript</a>.
